Kylian Mbappé’s X (formerly Twitter) account was hacked early Thursday, resulting in a series of controversial tweets that have caused a stir across the platform.
Among the tweets, which have since been deleted, were comments teasing a potential transfer to Manchester United and taking jabs at the longstanding rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. One tweet even mocked Chelsea, stating, “Chelsea are washed, g,” in response to a claim that Mbappé is a fan of the London club.
The Real Madrid forward, who recently transferred from Paris Saint-Germain, also made disparaging remarks about Messi, stating, “Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest football player of all time. This midget is not my goat,” alongside a photo of Messi in tears after a match against Colombia.
Additional tweets included offensive statements such as “F*** Israel,” “Free Palestine,” “Manchester is red,” and “The Jews own football.”
Reactions from X users varied, with many expressing skepticism about the authenticity of the tweets. User #haiwe_xtm commented, “Seriously hacked account. There’s no way that’s Mbappé, bro.” Similarly, #GucciStarboi remarked, “Stop misleading people. Mbappé was clearly hacked.”
Others, like #Big_5ve, suggested that those familiar with Mbappé’s character would know he wouldn’t post such content, while #fana__0 humorously suggested that the hacker should be “crowned king of the world.”
User #UTDLenz noted the hacker’s apparent support for Manchester United and Ronaldo, along with their pro-Palestine stance, expressing a certain admiration for their boldness.
Meanwhile, #RackiRMA questioned the effectiveness of Mbappé’s media team, and #keyyrun0 expressed surprise at the lack of immediate oversight, speculating that Mbappé was likely unaware of the situation while sleeping.
Mbappé recently began his campaign with Real Madrid, scoring in their 2-0 victory over Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup, but has yet to find the net in La Liga, with matches ending 1-1 against Mallorca and 3-0 against Valladolid.
